happy holidays {lonny style}

The holiday edition of Lonny came out this week and I'm crazy over interior designer Eileen Kathryn Boyd's Long Island home. I love how she's mixed pink and chartreuse instead of standard holiday red and green - it's unexpected and super chic.

home tour {designer lindsey bond}

I'm obsessed with designer Lindsey Bond's bright, modern and chic 1950's Birmingham, Alabama, cottage (featured in the new October issue of House Beautiful). I love the palette and how she's cleverly installed wall mounted shelves in several places to eliminate the need for a lot of bulky furniture. Also, the drapery is the same throughout, which Lindsey says, "adds softness and height, but also creates order through repetition." I love how she's used the curtains in other places besides the windows - to frame the living room/dining room, hide her closet door and to create a more modern take on a canopy.

i love it when magazines use humor in their photoshoots and the photos below are a perfect example of this. harper's bazaar did a shoot with rachel zoe and five top american designers based upon her 'i die' catchphrase and the result is funny and very cheeky.

designer {windsor smith}

Windsor Smith is one of my favorites - she can flawlessly combine the old with the new to create timeless interiors that are not only classic, but glamorous as well. For a little hump day treat, here's a peek at some of her work:

And just a few pretty things from her home collection:

THE chicest office

I've been meaning to post more of these images because Suzanne Kasler's office is to die for (I used it for a room of the day post a while back). I love the airy white + beige palette and the organization/storage is incredible.
